Blemco Brackets w/ 12.75" 350z Rotors?

Dimension wise it looks possible. The 12.75" rotors are at about the same price as 12.6". Offer a lot more ventilation 30mm vs 24mm. My calipers have been shaved slightly on the inside, but I have another pair that hasn't. I will try both when mocking up. This should get rid of the pad overhang most people are having. Has anyone proven this setup?

Dimensions:
12.6"

12.75"

^I 'd

But I doubt it would fit unless you use a larger caliper. Search Zilvia they use the 350Z brembo rotors all the time for their 300zx upgrades.

I think it will fit though, i have a brake pad overhang and this rotor might fix it.

Prop easily just to buy a cheap autozone rotor and try it, if no good return it...

There's a few local guys running 12.75 rotors from brembo equipped Z's but I think they have the doggone mounts and not Matty's. I'd like to know as well cause I have a set of brackets sitting here and been debating for over a month which to buy

350Z brembo rotors would fix the pad overhang but you need different brackets not the ones for the cobra rotors.

It's funny cuz I'm going to run the 240 brackets for the 12.75 set up. The s14 5 lug can take the 4gen calipers and rotor with no mods there for we can run that bracket kit for 12.75 brembo rotors kit.
